I didnt read the whole thread, so i have no idea what this was initially all about but it seems to have turned into "Who is the biggest loser this year between BUT and HAM". I say both these guys and the MercedesGP drivers as well (and you can also throw in DiResta in this group) are by FAR the bigg...

Re: How many drivers in the title race?
Now that the Sam Michael run joint and Webbo have all but ruled themself out of the WDC fight its down to probable the 3 best drivers in Formula 1 right now. But realistically its only between Vettel/Newey and Alonso/Fry/Tombazsis. I was only wrong about Rosberg.

Kimi has a better chance next year when he´s had his first year in a new team behind him. This year is still a warm up for him and if the McTelmex get their act together expect to see Kimi finish behind both of them in the standings. So basically 5. !

Re: Montezemolo should have left the crack pipe at home
I wonder does this indicate they would like to keep Massa forever ? Because most of the time he is gaining at the start but loses focus and ends up losing more positions the longer a race goes on. A one lap race would be ideal for him.

Re: Mind Games between the title contenders
The weaklings in this regard are Hamilton and Webber.
Raikkonen, Alonso and Vettel arent affected by what other drivers say about them, they only focus on the job at hand.
Button is not a title challenger (yet), i doubt he will be involved in psychologial games.
